Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 294

Chaisang, the ambassador's mansion.

Both sides are really smart people, neither Zhou Yu nor Xun Yu, neither want to waste time on unnecessary pleasantries.

After saying a few words, he directly entered the topic.

"Armor, we can buy it, but the price is yet to be discussed."

Zhou Yu drank a cup of tea in a leisurely manner, frowning in a subtle way.

I don't know what Xuzhou Qihou was thinking, but he actually drank green tea directly.

Xun Yu looked at Zhou Yu's small frown, smiled faintly, and said:

"I don't know what the Central Guards think?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand, as if I couldn't make the decision, and said:

"I'm just passing on the message for Marquis Wu. What's your idea? Our Marquis Wu's opinion is that armor can be bought, or we can pay the bill directly with fodder according to Qihou's request, but the price of fodder cannot be paid according to our Jiangdong's price." come."

joke.

The price of grain in Jiangdong has not been high these years. First, it is due to the good weather, and second, it is due to Sun Ce's suppression.

Let the big players in the market dare not hoard, at least, dare not go too far.

So even in Chaisang, which has the largest population, the current food price is only two hundred yuan a stone.

But what about grain prices in the Central Plains?
In Xuchang under the rule of Cao Cao, the price of corn has risen to [-] yuan a stone, and there is still a price but no market!
Even in Xuzhou under Yuan Tan's rule, the price of corn is a thousand dollars a stone!
If it is really based on Jiangdong's rice price, Jiangdong will have to pay at least several million shimi!
Although Jiangdong has a lot of grain reserves, he will definitely not be taken advantage of.

Regarding Zhou Yu's statement, Xun Yu had expected it a long time ago. Whether he or Yuan Tan knew that Jiang Dong would never agree to pay him according to Jiang Dong's rice price.

Just start by calling the price a little higher.

It's just for the convenience of the next negotiation.

So Xun Yu was not in a hurry when he heard Zhou Yu's words, he just said lightly:

"I don't know, what price of rice does the Central Guard want to use?"

Zhou Yu looked at Xun Yu who had a calm face, neither emotion nor fluctuation, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said:

"If I say the price of grain in Xuzhou is used, I'm afraid that Dr. Xun will turn around and leave immediately. So, how about we compromise and use the price of rice in Shouchun?"

Although Shouchun has experienced a wave of wars, it is located in the south, and the drought has little impact. Although the price of rice is high, it is relatively speaking.

Compared with Xuzhou's thousand dollars a stone, the price of rice in Shouchun is only [-] dollars a stone.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Xun Yu took a deep look at him, nodded slightly, then shook his head again:

"The Central Guardian Army has said so much, I only think one thing is correct. That is, neither you nor I can decide such a big matter right now."

Xun Yu got straight to the point, and Zhou Yu stopped pretending. He stretched his body, looked at Xun Yu for a while, and said calmly, "In that case, what suggestion does Xun Lang have?"

"I can't talk about suggestions. At the moment, Marquis Wu can't see whether the armor is suitable for use, so he can't give a clear price. He can only ask the Central Guards to come to me to talk about it. And we are the same. Jiangdong has a lot of food, but after all It's Chen Liang, but it's important to be old for a few years."

Xun Yu knocked on the table and said slowly:

"The next time I come, I will bring a hundred guards. In front of Jiangdong's 100 elites, these [-] people will not be able to make a fuss, but it is more than enough to count the quality of a million stone grains."

Seeing that Xun Yu finally talked about the meat of the show, Zhou Yu put away his previous relaxed posture, straightened his waist, and said slowly:
"Since this is the case, then we should also send envoys to Xuzhou to see with our own eyes the waiting armor."

Xun Yu smiled slightly: "It should be so."

……

"Mr. Wen Ruo, there are ten Chaisang grain depots, each storing 20 shi of grain, totaling 200 million shi of grain. From No. A to No. E, these are the grain depots that Marquis Wu prepared to inspect for Mr. Wen Ruo."

Outside Chaisang City, Xun Yu was riding on a white horse, followed by Zhang Zhao, the chief official under Marquis Wu's tent, who is now a civil servant of Jiangzuo, and the representative of the Jiangdong family who is on par with Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Zibu has worked hard, and Mr. Laozibu is leading the way. Unfortunately, I have business affairs and I am a foreign envoy, so it is not easy to entertain guests. Otherwise, I must sit and discuss with Mr. Zibu and drink green tea together. Only then will it be a pleasure in the world. "

Xun Yu bowed his hands to Zhang Zhao, thanking Zhang Zhao for his help leading the way.

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Zhang Zhao smiled, shook his head and said:

"Mr. Wen Ruo, why do you need to see outsiders? The talent of Mr. Wen Ruo's ovary is known all over the world. Now that he is in Jiangzuo, it is like returning home. How can there be a foreign minister?"

As he spoke, Zhang Zhao turned his head suggestively, and glanced in the direction of Marquis Wu's Mansion.

Zhang Zhao's petty gestures were not concealed, Xun Yu shook his head and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zibu's kindness, I have received it with all my heart, but I have been wandering from Xuchang to Yecheng, and from Yecheng to Xuzhou. In just two years, I have wandered in three places. I have already extinguished my desire to travel far. Please return me Mr. Bu, thank Wu Hou for his kindness on my behalf."

On Xun Yu's side, he encountered a nail that was neither soft nor hard, Zhang Zhao was not discouraged.

Anyway, it was just a casual move by him to persuade Xun Yu to stay in Jiangdong by taking advantage of the way.

If it can be done, it will be good, if it can't be done, there will be no loss. With a chuckle, he revealed the words, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked:
"I heard that Mr. Ziyu is also in the mission. I don't know why, but I haven't met him?"

"It's rare for Ziyu to go home. He has some common affairs to deal with, and even has a friend who lives in Jiangzuo, so he should visit him once or twice."

Zhuge Jin wanted to invite Yu Fan to come out of the mountain, and Yu Fan was quite famous in Jiangdong, so Xun Yu didn't want to say too much.

In order to avoid any incidents, he changed the subject immediately and said: "Speaking of which, I heard that Marquis Wu has sent an envoy to Xuzhou. I wonder which Jiangdong hero is going to Xuzhou?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao said with a smile:

"It's none other than my younger brother Zhang Hong, who went with Jiang Qin and Dong Xi, two generals under Marquis Wu's tent."

Zhang Hong?

Xun Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Zhao suspiciously.

If I remember correctly, Zhang Hong was sent to Cao Cao as an envoy in the past, and Cao Cao put him under house arrest in Xuchangcai.

Looking at Xun Yu's suspicious eyes, Zhang Zhao gave a wry smile and said:

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Qihou. The surprise attack on Xuchang in the past caused chaos in Xudu, and my younger brother also took the opportunity to escape back to Jiangdong."

Zhang Zhaoyi explained, but Xun Yu understood.

Zhang Hong was under house arrest in Xuchang, but it wasn't that strict. If Jiangdong really wanted to rescue him, he would definitely be able to rescue him.

The reason why Zhang Hong was allowed to stay in Xuchang was mainly because he was afraid that Cao Cao would make a request for rebellion.

The titles of General Dispute and Marquis of Wu on Sun Ce's head were both granted to him by Cao Cao when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in his hands.

At that time, it was Zhang Hong who went to Xuchang to ask for the title.

If Zhang Hong left without saying goodbye, there is no guarantee what Cao Cao would do.

Although the majesty of the Han Dynasty declined, under the background at that time, the combination of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao made the banner of "Han Dynasty" very deterrent to other princes.
